Because of the Twitter/X ban, many people from Brazil are moving to Mastodon, including Artists, so let's do an Art Share for them only! Let's help them get the boost they need around here!

ARTISTS FROM BRAZIL
- In the comments, introduce yourself and show your art!

PEOPLE NOT FROM BRAZIL
- Boost this post and the ones from brazilian artists in the comments!

Seems likely to me that most Brazilians will be posting in Portuguese.

Não falo nem leio português

@xi_timpin @anubiarts

That's what machine translation is for.

@angelastella @anubiarts
Sim, como você acha que eu escrevi essa parte em português?

@xi_timpin @anubiarts

Phrases like that used to be in the first page of language guides for tourists! 😅

@Npars01 @anubiarts in case anyone needs examples :)
@anubiarts
They only left X because it’s almost being shut down in Brazil. Apparently they didn’t mind the repulsive behaviors of it’s owner and the repulsive policies of the company since the takeover. 
@waarismijnhoofd that’s weird gatekeeping. they’re here now and we should be welcoming.
@standev really? what’s so weird and why should ‘we’ be welcoming?

@waarismijnhoofd it seems like your point is that they have insufficient moral purity because it took this to break the network effect.

I would rather welcome them for choosing to try Fedi instead of going to Bluesky or Threads, because I think we all benefit by having a viable non-billionaire-owned social network.

@waarismijnhoofd @standev Because every person who decides to stay here and permanently no longer uses Twitter is a win for us and a loss for Elon and at least for me, winning against a billionaire asshole is more satisfying than gloating.
@waarismijnhoofd @anubiarts I see no reason to act like a jerk to new members of the Federalists no matter why they come here.
@wpeckham @anubiarts since you’re calling names, I’m going to block you

@waarismijnhoofd @wpeckham @anubiarts

Schelden? Hij zegt alleen maar dat hij geen reden ziet om zich als een eikel te gedragen.

Geen onvertogen woord jegens jou. Of past jou soms die schoen🤔

@waarismijnhoofd @anubiarts when you're an artist and your primary source of income relies on retaining the audience you've built, it's not so simple a choice. it isn't just as straightforward as "i want to get away from the nazi oligarch", it's "if I make the decision to leave the platform headed by the nazi oligarch, I may not rebuild enough of a clientele to afford to put food on my table next month". I'm glad for you that you are so privileged to have never needed to face a difficult catch-22 in your life, and that you are so comfortable in your current position to see the world in such a black-and-white view, but no need to apply this nonsense to everyone as if they're all pro-nazi for making such a selfish decision of... not starving, and keeping out of the rain.
@vivi @anubiarts actually agree with first part of your post. It’s different if part of your business depends on it. Although the reason kinda wears off the longer we’re all watching this slow trainwreck take place. A wise entrepreneur should’ve started hedging their risks.
By the way, it’s safe to assume only a small % of all Brazilian Twitter users are struggling artists.

@vivi @anubiarts

As for the 2nd part of your toot, let’s call it the ‘rant part’; you seem to know a lot about me and my life. And you seem to be a bit agitated. Doctors advice; don’t get too worked up.
And as a non doctor; it doesn’t look good. Try to be nice.

@waarismijnhoofd @anubiarts I mean, I can't speak to everyone's experience, but I imagine a lot of twitter users in countries where English isn't a main language simply don't know how bad it is.

For folks who interact with English media and the English side of twitter, it's kind of hard to imagine with how ubiquitous it is, but it's really easy to miss the scale and severity of twitter's decline if you don't actively look for it
(In Japan, for example, which has (or at least had) the largest percentage of twitter users outside of the English language, I know several people personally who were surprised to hear about it, long after the takeover)

Most folks don't read policy + terms of service updates
I think it's also safe to assume most folks don't read news articles about corporate takeovers

This is not to excuse folks who know and stay anyway, but it's definitely easier than one might think to be simply unaware of the whole ordeal

@niji_limbo @anubiarts that’s an interesting perspective. Didn’t realize that. Thanks for sharing!
@waarismijnhoofd @anubiarts There are very good reasons for staying on X around the world. You can despise Elon and still see the need. There's a lot of news we would not have (eg from Palestine) without it. Zuck is also evil but people all over the world still need facebook (and WhatsApp and insta) to get the word out sometimes. Not everyone has the same choices. I applaud the Brazilian government though. Fuck Elon

@waarismijnhoofd @anubiarts restrictions brings discovery.

People might not even knew about Mastodon and thought Twitter was the "only" site of the kind.

@waarismijnhoofd @anubiarts many people stuck around because of their existing connections, not because they "didn't mind the repulsive behaviors." let's not act like jack was much better
@bug @anubiarts don’t think Jack was a saint, but at least he didn’t frequently retweet neo-Nazi posts, tweet racist and bigoted posts himself, silence people with other opinions than his own, and I could go on. The world has become an unsafer place since Elon took over. Jack was much better.
@waarismijnhoofd @anubiarts yeah ok. i'm just saying, staying on the platform is not necessarily an endorsement of its administration
@bug @anubiarts
Staying does impact X’s financial viability, because a social network’s worth is determined by the number of users, even dormant ones matter. User using X has value, you generate data and can be targeted by advertisers.
Many people leaving, and X shrinking, would be devastating for the future of the platform.
@waarismijnhoofd @anubiarts well then, you got your wish. why turn them away now ?
@bug @anubiarts I don’t turn anyone away, I don’t have any power 😊.
I just give my opinion about people that stay on Twitter; everyone who still has a Twitter account in 2024 contributes to an instrument to undermine democracy and help dark forces to power.
And yes, leaving Twitter may come at a cost (it did so for me too), but I don’t think those costs weight heavier than losing democracy.
@anubiarts Love this idea! Let’s welcome Brazilian artists with open arms and give them the support they deserve. 🎨🇧🇷 #artshare #brazilianart #supportartists
@anubiarts people from lemmy.eco.br made an art mural in there. it's super useful for reach : ) @/arte@lemmy.eco.br
@anubiarts oi! sou petri e ainda estou aprendendo a desenhar, por isso uso outras artes para tentar replicá-las no meu estilo, mas também tento fazer alguns desenhos próprios.
muito obrigado pela atenção!
@petrigoober @anubiarts
I like it! they're cute!
The scene in the second one reminds me of a book ive read (Piranesi) that i should probably continue to read

@anubiarts Eu leio português, mas não consigo escrever, entender ou falar... ainda?

Bem-víndos!

@mdione @anubiarts thank you Marcos!

Oi, sou o Alexandre, dou aulas e faço desenhos com código, em geral com #Python e a biblioteca #py5, as pessoas chamam isso de #ProgramaçãoCriativa e publico meus sketches diários em @villares

Hi, I'm Alexandre, I teach and make drawings using code, usually #Python and a library called #py5, people often call it #CreativeCoding and I post my daily sketches at @villares

@villares @anubiarts @villares I think newcomers from #Brazil would prefer an introduction in Portuguese?
@mdione @anubiarts @villares yeah, thanks" I'll add that, I got totally confused about this!
